NEW YORK, Feb. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. (Nasdaq: INBS) (“INBS” or the “Company”), a medical technology company delivering intelligent, rapid, non-invasive testing solutions, today announced its financial results for the fiscal second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2024, and provided a business update.
“Fiscal Q2 was a successful quarter for the business in a number of areas. From a financial standpoint, our business model is excelling, with higher-margin cartridge sales steadily increasing, contributing to our gross profit and margin growth. Our focus on deal size and growing the volume of cartridge sales has resulted in an 11-point increase in our gross profit margin,” said Harry Simeonidis, President and CEO at Intelligent Bio Solutions. “From a regulatory standpoint, our clinical studies returned strong results, and we achieved a significant milestone with the submission of our FDA 510(k) package in December. We remain on track to enter the multi-billion dollar U.S. market this year, and look forward to the opportunities this will present for the business. In addition, we successfully executed on our international expansion plans, adding key strategic partnerships in the Asia-Pacific Region and the U.S.”
“Our performance over the first half of fiscal 2025 shows that our focus on growing cartridge sales is translating to higher gross profit and margins. We were pleased that gross profit grew to 32.6% while gross profit margins increased to 38.5% from 27.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2024, year-over-year, showing that we have made strides in sustaining the Company’s long-term financial strength,” said Spiro Sakiris, CFO at Intelligent Bio Solutions. “We expect cartridge sales to continue outpacing reader sales moving forward, maximizing our recurring revenue. We also continued to scale our customer base of over 400 accounts and expand our international presence, which we expect will continue to grow as we enter the U.S. market this year.”

Financial Results for the Fiscal 2025 Second Quarter and Six-Months Ended December 31, 2024:
- Total cash and cash equivalents on hand as of December 31, 2024, was $2.24 million.
- Shareholders equity as of December 31, 2024, was $4.20 million.
- Total revenues for the fiscal second quarter were $0.61 million.
- Total revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2024, was $1.48 million.
- Gross profit increased 32.6% from $0.43 million to $0.57 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024.
- Gross profit margin increased to 38.5% from 27.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2024.

Revenue from sales of goods decreased by $156,569 to $607,494 from $764,063 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, and by $80,376 to $1,479,781 from $1,560,157 for the six months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Despite these fluctuations, the Company increased its gross profit margin by concentrating on higher-margin cartridge sales. Increases in gross profit margin are further attributable to enhanced production capacity, which has reduced direct labor, direct materials and overhead costs. The Company continues to improve its strategic sales mix and operational streamlining, thus driving increased gross profit.
Net loss attributable to the Company increased by $279,829 to $2,249,470 from $1,969,641 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, and by $540,258 to $4,935,103 from $4,394,845 for the six months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. This increase is primarily driven by the Company’s investment in R&D work required for its FDA 510(k) clinical study plan and increased selling, general and administrative expenses due to continued expansion in existing and new regions. The Company submitted its 510(k) pre-market notification to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on December 18, 2024.
